The powerball jackpot all over the US continues to get bigger as the past few drawings haven't yielded any winners. This means that $1.5 billion dollars is up for grabs yet. If you won all of it, what would you do with it? You won't get every single penny of that, but after taxes, I'm sure you'll still have over a billion dollars left. If no one wins, the pot will continue to get bigger.

Honestly I think it's too much money for one person. I heard when you win this much, it's suggested you hire a financial advisor to help track your money and spending. I don't know if I'd want to do that, but I suppose when you have that much money, it won't hurt to hire someone on to help. But then that brings up worries of them trying to take more than they should be paid for.

What would you do with the money if you were to win? I'd buy myself a nice house, maybe a home for my parents some cars and pack my new house with a bunch of stuff. I'd donate some, help out with family and help my hometown as well.

I think it's way too much money though and what I think the lottery should do is split it up more so that more people win. I think that would help the economy more than dropping it in the hands of one or a few people only.

What do you think?

I'd get my family straight, pay off my debts, get my credit up, buy land & start Black Wall Street in our Black communities nationwide.
